Maybe this will help explain my idea:




The grey clouds represent the set of futures that are likely to happen. Even though at any time greater than t all futures are possible, using probability we can see that as t+t0 approaches t+dt, the set of likely futures shrinks until the threshold of the present has passed and only one future becomes the past.
The graph did not duplicate above - So an Easter egg rolls from the past through now and becomes a gaint Easter egg. cool!

But what determined that the egg would crack open - and a bunny would pop out?

What about the novelty wave factor? For novelty to be inserted that could alter the determinate to cause change you need some constant factor that can insert that novelty to re-direct a evolutionary pattern towards a new future of developement.

Random events that happen during and to something in motion are regulated by a number of factors such as gravty, how the ball or dice can bounce off of a number of different surfaces, and what force the motion had behind it, and what resistance the object would encounter - and so on The more complex the reasons are the more random it appears to be.
